Trust by design

Community health belongs in the matching decision.

Social recommendations can affect player experience and opportunity. The platform must give studios clear boundaries, controls, and evidence for how those decisions are made.

Design principles

Minimum-necessary inputs

Define the smallest player and game context needed for each recommendation workflow rather than collecting data without a concrete purpose.

Developer-controlled policy

Keep eligibility, blocking, reporting, and enforcement aligned with the game's authoritative systems and community standards.

Explainable factors

Make the factors behind a recommendation available for evaluation, tuning, and governance.

Scoped player references

Prefer pseudonymous, game-scoped identifiers over directly identifying player information.

Measured outcomes

Evaluate group stability and safety outcomes, not only whether an API produced a technically valid response.

Human accountability

Product and safety owners must remain able to review policy, investigate issues, and change or disable recommendation behavior.

Requirements still to be defined

Production data flows, retention, deletion, access control, incident response, availability, and audit requirements will be agreed with design partners before live player data is used. This page states design direction, not a claim that a production compliance program has already been completed.
